Here are the NCR’s single ticketing system violations and fines for motorists, effective in April

By Jessa Rivera Leave a Comment Filed Under: News, Public Info

Attention to all motorists! The National Capital Region’s transition to a single ticketing system, which enables a more streamlined and centralized framework for collecting fines, has finally been approved by the Metro Manila Council (MMC).

The Metropolitan Manila Traffic Code of 2023, which was approved by all 17 mayors of Metro Manila during a conference held at the headquarters of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) in Pasig City, served as the legal basis for the program.

Don Artes, the interim chairman of the MMDA, referred to the adoption of the system as a “historic moment” since it allows drivers to pay for traffic-related infractions independently of the city in which they were pulled, eliminating any possibility of confusion.

“This is a historic moment for all of us because after more than twenty years, Metro Manila is finally adopting the single ticketing system that will highly benefit our motorists,” Artes said.
